PHANTOM THREAD: Understanding PTA's most difficult film
Description
Daniel Day Lewis' seminal final performance came in Paul Thomas Anderson's Phantom Thread from 2017. The film subverts expectations in the best possible way, appearing to be a 1950s period drama about a fashion designer and morphing into a bizarre love story that explores the darker sides of both masculinity and femineity. Phantom Thread is incredibly dense, nuances, and brimming with beautiful costumes and incredible performances. The movie demands multiple viewings and delves into themes of class distinction, the frivolity of high fashion, psychological needs, and more.
